I’m a Parker acolyte.

There is only one military revolution in my book.

Definitely not the former.

It’ll be awhile before I’m convinced it’s the latter (as much as I can be convinced of anything being an RMA).

To be honest, if AI becomes truly revolutionary, we won’t have time to ponder it as we’ll be too busy fighting off the oppression of our AI robot overlords.

Talking with cadets about why immigrants would march into hell for a country they barely knew at the Irish Brigade monument at Gettysburg is one of the top 3 moments of my army career.

Ideals, hopes, and dreams are powerful things.

I’m willing to compromise with a little velcro strap doohickey like on the old knee pad pants.

I’m reasonable!

Tucking, boot blousers, tying those silly little strings - doesn’t matter.

I’m over it.

The only strain I want on my body in an airport is the strain of lifting an ice cold beer to my lips at 7am.
